Located in the heart of the South Tyne Valley, Allens Green Farm has outstanding views over Northumberland National Park including Sycamore Gap and the dramatic scenery of the Cheviots beyond. Extending to a total of 113 hectares (281 acres) of permanent grass and rough grazing, Allens Green Farm includes a large traditional farmhouse and a fully equipped steading including both traditional and modern farm buidlings.
The large South Facing farmhouse has been built from traditional Northumbrian stone under a slate roof and benefits from being well maintained. The farmhouse has been split into the main house plus annexe and a large garage space with the scope available to be internally refurbished. Each having their own stairwell the large property can be suitably adapted, however, the original interconnecting doorways remain.
The house is full of character and charm with traditional features such as exposed beams and open fires remaining.
The property operates on an oil fired boiler servicing the central heating and water system, mains electricity and drainage to a septic tank. A residential solar panel system contributes to the mains electricity usage of the property.
Internally the main farmhouse benefits from four spacious bedrooms and a large upstairs bathroom. Upon entrance there is a large reception/dining room with an impressive view across a large portion of the farm. In addition there is a fully furnished kitchen and pantry downstairs and access to the first floor via a beautiful traditional staircase. There are a further three attic rooms that are not currently part of the existing living arrangement.
The annexe region of the farmhouse has a well furnished kitchen with a large yet snug living and dining area with a grand fireplace. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a bathroom. This region of the property could be used as accommodation for a live in relative, tenant or incorporated back into the main farmhouse.
The original cooking range still exists in what is now used as a garage space adjoining the main farmhouse.
This portion of the property has two further upstairs rooms and again benefits from its own staircase so can be used independently or incorporated back into the main farmhouse.
Externally the farmhouse sits within a large garden that wraps around the front of the property with large areas of lawn flowerbeds and shrubs.

There is an additional stone byre situated on the fell, ideal for storage.
